A little bit about Lauren..

I started this blog in order to help me be accountable for my actions in my weight loss journey. I have finally stuck to my guns and am tackling my weight issue head on. I'm tired of my clothes not fitting, I'm tired of not feeling sexy, I'm tired of not living up to my fullest potential because I have all this weight to hide behind. So this is my journey of bettering my life with all the love and happiness I have in my life.

I started weight watchers a little over two weeks ago and so if I mention anything about points that is probably why. I started at my highest weight of 187 pounds. Today I sit at 180.6 and I weigh myself weekly on sundays and I track everything I eat, in order to maintain within a certain intake. Because my biggest problem has always been eating when I'm not hungry, just because I'm bored. I am entering my senior year of college and I will graduate with my BSN (Bachelor's Degree in Nursing) and my ultimate goal is to walk across the stage in 40 something weeks in the wonderful month of may 2011 feeling my greatest.. at hopefully my goal weight of 137 which equals a total weight loss of 50 pounds. I know I can do this if I just stay focused and stay motivated.

The biggest factor that stands in my way is my amazing boyfriend and his amazing cooking!! I love him to death and he is the greatest thing that has ever happened to me, and supportive about my journey. The only thing is he cooks... a lot and really well!! But its not the healthiest of healthy food.. its fattening and yummy. But he is going to try and cut back for me, which I love him even more for, but I don't know how much that will work out. So I will tackle that obstacle when it comes to a later stage. Luckily we don't live together so we don't eat every meal together.

I also plan on becoming a runner again, I once was a couple years back and use to love it. So I soon to journey on doing the Couch to 5K program and hopefully do a 5K sometime in the future. I think that will help me with my journey to better health and fitness (:

I think that is enough about me.. plus I need to go to bed because I have to work a 12 hour shift in the morning. So I know I don't have any followers yet, but hopefully soon I will.
